The Swiss government has confirmed that it has so far returned $723 million (about N142.43 billion) of stolen funds ceased from the family of the late former head of state, Sani Abacha, to the Nigerian government over the last 10 years.
The amount excludes $321million (about N63.24 billion) which the Swiss authorities recently said recently it was planning to repatriate to Nigeria.
These details are contained in the agreement signed on March 8, 2016 in Abuja by representatives of the Swiss Federal Council and the Nigerian government.
The agreement, titled “Letter of Intent on the restitution of illegally-acquired assets forfeited in Switzerland,” was signed by Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the Swiss Head of Foreign Affairs Department, Didier Burkhalter.
The document, obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, reveals that $321 million acquired illicitly by the Abacha family, was initially deposited in Luxemburg before being confiscated by the Swiss Republic Judiciary and Canton of Geneva following a December 11, 2014 forfeiture order.
The agreement says funds to be returned to Nigeria would contribute to the implementation of social programmes for the benefit of the Nigerian people in “an efficient and accountable way, guaranteed by a monitoring by World Bank”.
Acknowledging the cooperation of Switzerland and Nigeria as an excellent opportunity to fight against corruption at domestic and international levels, the signatories to the agreement recalled the long partnership by their two countries in asset recovery based the principles of national interest, trust and mutual respect.
Considering Chapter V of the UN Convention against corruption, which is the international legal framework for asset recovery, the signatories also drew attention to Article 51 of the document that states afford each other measures of cooperation and assistance.
The agreement also emphasized the need for the process of repatriation of the stolen funds to be undertaken based on international best practices of transparency and accountability in a manner that satisfy the scrutiny of civil society and the international community.
The signatories affirmed, among others, their intention to maintain a fruitful cooperation based on trust and respect in order to enable transparent and efficient use of the funds for the benefits of the Nigerian people.
They also agreed to ensure that the deployment of the funds was monitored by the World Bank in line with separate forfeiture orders issued by the Swiss Public Prosecutor and the Canton of Geneva on December 11, 2014.
The two countries pledged to maintain regular exchanges and constructive engagements towards the conclusion of the processes necessary for the final return of the looted funds to Nigeria, adding that the letter of intent, which does not impose any legally binding obligation, would continue to provide the basis for their cooperation.
“The implementation of the present letter of Intent between the Signatories (Swiss and Nigerian governments) is guided by the principle of ethics, mutual respect and cooperation,” the agreement stated

An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday remanded a 14-year-old teenager (names withheld) at the Boys Correctional Centre, Isheri, a suburb of Lagos, for allegedly raping a five-year-old daughter of his neighbour. The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias, who remanded the accused, over the alleged defilement, then adjourned the case to March 23, to listen to the accused’s bail application. The accused, a student, who lives with his parents at 2, Kao Close, Santos Estate, Dopemu, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a charge of defilement. The prosecutor, Benedict Aigbokhan, said the accused committed the offence on Feb. 4, at his residence’s toilet. “One of the neighbours, who heard the cry of the girl, had to rush into the toilet where he apprehended the accused,” the prosecutor told the court. The offence, according to the prosecutor, contravenes Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. Section 137 prescribes that any person who has sexual intercourse with a child is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for life. The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.

And some zombies blamed the civil servants for padding it while obviously it was Bubu angelic minsters

The adjournment was made to enable the defence study the additional proof of evidence served on them by the prosecution.

At the resumed hearing on Monday, the counsel to Air Chief Marshal Badeh, Mr Akinjide Olujimi, informed the court that he had just been hired by the accused person and would need time to be properly briefed before he could defend his client.

He also told the court that the prosecution just served him additional proof of evidence, which he needed to also study in the interest of justice and fairness before trial could commence.

The former Defence chief’s counsel had also filed a bail application, but the prosecuting counsel, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, urged the court to turn down the application on the ground that it was an attempt to scuttle the trial.

After consideration, the trail judge, Justice Okon Abang, turned down the bail application, on two other grounds.

He, however, said that there was merit in the request of the defence to study the additional proof of evidence to ensure that the law was fair to all sides in the matter.

Justice Abang adjourned the case to enable the defence study the additional proof of evidence.

Air Chief Marshall Badeh is standing trial for alleged use funds meant for the Nigeria Air Force to purchase choice property in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.

According to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, he illegally used Six million Naira to renovate his son’s house, which he purchased for 260 million Naira in Abuja between January and December 2013.

The former Defence Chief is also alleged to have used 876 million Naira belonging to the Nigerian Air Force to build a shopping mall in Abuja.

Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the February 20 rerun election in Benue South, Daniel Onjeh, has filed a fresh petition before the Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital praying to be declared as winner of the poll.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Senator David Mark of the Peoples Democratic Party as the winner of the poll with a margin of more than 12,000 votes.

Onjeh who spoke with journalists shortly after filing the petition noted that evidence on the of the Certified True Copy of result declaration sheets obtained from INEC showed observed irregularities and noncompliance with Electoral Act 2010 (as amended).



He said “We have put in an air tight petition with the hope that justice would be done to it and we would be declared winner.”

He argued that results in his stronghold were either canceled or rejected without reason and cited the case of a particular polling unit in Ado Local Government where he won the PDP with landslide.

The respondents including Mark, PDP and INEC have 21 days to reply to the petition upon service, following which Onjeh and the APC would reply within seven days after which sitting would commence.

This is the second time Onjeh is going back to the tribunal. The first time was in 2015 and his petition led to the nullification of Mark’s election which gave rise to the rerun.

A former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, demonstrated sadness when the plot to extend his tenure beyond the two terms approved by the Constitution failed in 2006, a former deputy senate president, Ibrahim Mantu, has said.
Mr. Mantu, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party revealed this in an exclusive interview with PREMIUM TIMES.
The Senate in 2006 overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to amend the Nigerian Constitution, which would have made Mr. Obasanjo eligible to contest again for president, after eight years in office.
Mr. Mantu, one of Obasanjo’s henchmen in the then Senate, was the chairman of the Constitution Review Committee.
“I don’t want to say much about that,” Mr. Mantu said, while responding to a question about Mr. Obasanjo’s attitude towards him when the plot failed on the Senate floor. “All I know is that he was not happy.”
“But he knew a tree could not make a forest,” the former deputy senate president said, apparently suggesting that he alone could not have pushed the tenure elongation proposal through, without the support of other senators.
But Mr. Obasanjo had on several occasions said he never wanted or pushed for a third term.

Mr. Mantu however said Mr. Obasanjo should be applauded for subjecting himself to a constitutional process when he wanted a third term, unlike other African leaders who forcefully stayed in office beyond their tenure.
“If Obasanjo had wanted to cause confusion, he was still the incumbent President, he could have caused a lot of problem,” Mr. Mantu said.
“He could have even asked the military to stage a coup against him.
Then, United Nations would come and say we should negotiate and that Obasanjo should be there for two years and all sort of things.”
Mr. Mantu said Mr. Obasanjo was a popular president.
He said the tenure extension plot “failed because most of the senators bought into the campaign of those people who did not want Obasanjo to have another tenure.”
Mr. Mantu said if he had the same opportunity today, he would lay down his life to get a third term for Obasanjo.
“The truth is if I had known Nigeria would find herself where we are today, I would have even taken the last drop of my blood to ensure it happened because it would have been in the greatest interest of the nation.
“We never envisaged we would be here. Since Obasanjo left, the way this country has been run up to this moment, I weep for Nigeria.”

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom, Gabriel Ada, has alleged that suspected thugs snatched result sheet from an electoral officer in Saturday’s council poll in the state.
Mr. Ada told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibesikpo while monitoring the election that the incident took place in one of the polling units in Obot Akara.
According to him, suspected thugs in Obot Akara beat up an electoral officer and took away the result sheet for the polling unit.
“We are still having pockets of violence in one or two places in Obot Akara but I think the security presence is good enough.
“In one of my polling units in Obot Akara, a staff was beaten and the result sheet was collected,’’ Ada said.
He disclosed that security personnel were adequately deployed for the re-run election and that their presence had accounted for relative peace during the exercise.
“Before this time, we had a lot of interactive meetings with political stakeholders, where they all resolved that the election will be peaceful,’’ he said.


Mr. Ada restated the commission’s commitment to free, fair and credible re-run, adding that most polling centres received voting materials quite early.
He said that he had not received any report of malfunctioning of the card reader, adding that he was impressed with the turnout of voters for the exercise.
“The card reader is functioning well and the verification of the PVCs, which it is doing, is very important to us.
“Once a voter is verified, we also cross check to ensure that your name is in the voters’ register and after that, you are given your ballot papers to cast your vote,’’ he said. (NAN)

Federal High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital has ordered the immediate release of a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, representing Efon Constituency, Hon Afolabi Akanni from the detention of the Department of State Services (DSS), Abuja. Hon Akanni was whisked away last Friday, when armed men of the DSS invaded the Ekiti State House of Assembly complex and he has since been held incommunicado in the DSS headquarters in Abuja. Justice Taiwo Taiwo, while delivering the ruling today, in suit number FHC/AD/CS/8/16 filed on behalf of Hon. Akanni by his counsel, Obafemi Adewale said the DSS did not meet all the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). DSS OPERATIVES The judge who also restrained the DSS from further arresting and detaining Hon Akanni ruled that warrant to produce Hon Akanni in court should be served on the DSS. Justice Taiwo said the court heard the application urgently because of the life and liberty of a citizen was at stake. In the motion exparte, a member of the State House of Assembly, representing Oye Constituency II, Hon. Adetunji Akinyele had deposed to a 21-paged affidavit, bordering on the infringement of Hon. Akanni’s fundamental human rights. Apart from seeking the immediate release of Hon Akanni from DSS detention, the appellant also sought an order of injunction restraining the DSS and its representatives from further arresting and detaining him. Justice Taiwo, who ordered the DSS to release Hon. Akanni immediately, further ordered that alternatively, the DSS should produce the lawmaker in his court in Ado-Ekiti next week Wednesday, March 16 and show reasons he should be released. Hearing of the substantive application was adjourned till March 21. Reacting to the ruling, one of the appellant’s counsel, Chief Bunmi Olugbade described it as “rule of law in action.” Speaking on other members of the House of Assembly that are said to be missing, Chief Olugbade called for useful information in respect to their whereabouts.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Friday appeared at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for his ongoing trial over alleged false declaration of assets. Saraki arrived CCT at about 9:56am in company of about 30 senators. Prominent among the 84 senators who stormed the CCT in solidarity with the senate president are , Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, Ben Murray-Bruce, Dino Melaye, Stella Oduah, Samuel Anyanwu.

Recall that the Senate President is expected to be confronted by witnesses who will testify that he lied in the assets declaration forms he submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB during his eight years tenure as governor of Kwara State. In the 13-count charge of false assets declaration filed against the Senate President at Tribunal on September, 2015, CCB had alleged that he made false claims in the four assets declarations forms he submitted on his assumption and exit from office at different times between 2003 and 2011. Specifically, the Senate President was in the 13 counts charge alleged to have corruptly acquired many properties while in office as Governor of Kwara State.

According to CCB some of the assets traced to him at the end of his tenure as governor were not declared in the assets declaration forms he filled and submitted on assumption of office. Similarly, Saraki was accused of making anticipatory declaration of assets as some of the assets he listed as belonging to him upon his assumption of office as governor was discovered to have been acquired later.

The prosecution and the defence counsel have agreed on next Friday, March 18 for the argument of the motion on jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to try Senate President Bukola Saraki on a charge of alleged false asset declaration slammed on him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB)

President of the CCT, Danladi Umar, asked the defence to ensure that he served all motions and processes on the prosecution counsel to avoid further delay of the trial. He therefore adjourned the case to Friday, March 18, 2016, for moving of the motion and possible hearing of the substantive matter. The Senate President sat in the dock as the lawyers prosecution and the defence exchanged arguments
